Thanks Sheriff

At least there is hope. I am a bit confused with the article...Is The Room: Old Sins actually Room 4 since they say they are still working on that?

The Room: Old Sins is the 4th in the series. It was released shortly after that update on Room 3 going to PC.

Woo Hoo

Hopefully they can get a PC version out for that one too!

They released the Amazon/Kindle version of 4 at the end of May so I believe 4 is all released now on various mobile devices. I hope that means they can focus on the porting of the PC versions.

I am not sure it will play on my 12 year old Flip Phone

Let's just hope for the PC version!

Just started Riven again, the game that really cemented my love of that stye

I'm replaying Journeyman Project 2: Buried in Time. I forgot how fun this game is. I love Arthur and his colorful commentary, and I love all the interesting historical information.

Journeyman Project 3 is my favourite of the series and I've re-played it several times

Another series I have but haven't played (sigh).

Yesterday I started my replay of Ankh 2: Heart of Osiris and tonight I started a replay of Sentinel: Descendants in Time in my XP machine. I have to get used to the movement in the game as it makes me a little nauseous but I remember really liking this game. I only played a very short time, just long enough to get me to my first location. (Probably 5 minutes of play time that took me 45 minutes.) Whoo Hoo!

TJL, hope you are enjoying your replay of Testament of Sherlock Holmes

flotsam, I hope you're enjoying Riven (another game I need to replay).

Tristy, I hope you're enjoying Journeyman Project 2

Mad, are you back playing yet at all?

Thanks oldbroad, yes I really do! It is totally different experience with smooth graphics on 27" screen. As I played I began to remember the main part of the story but there are also lots of little things I have forgotton in 4+ years. So it feels like half new.

Maybe I just start re-playing all my 200+ games from start again. No need for any new ones, ever. Just kidding! But certainly I will re-play some of them, now having started.

Enjoy your plays and re-plays, everyone!

Timo

Not back yet, oldbroad, but hopefully soon !!

Testament of Sherlock Holmes is a fine game
I played it a couple of months ago and had a great time

I seem to be in the mood for sequels now. I have a new game I have to focus on, but if/when I have time in between, I think I'm going to replay Runaway 2: Dream of the Turtle and The Book of Unwritten Tales 2. The latter is probably going to take me forever to get through, as it's roughly a 25 hour game.

TJL, I go through a long list of games that I like to replay, too, going all the way back to King's Quest I. That sounds like a great plan to me.

venus,

I finished my The Testament of Sherlock Holmes re-play today. Liked it very much and the end scene with Beethoven's 7th playing on background almost brought tears in my eyes.

Now I'm thinking of re-playing Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened which introduced me to the motion sickness! Until I realised what was going on I became so sick that I threw up and had to play rest of the game in short periods. The remastered version has option to switch between first and third person gameplay which I hope to solve the problem.

I also bought whole Black Mirror trilogy from GOG summer sale for re-play. I think my originals are DVD versions and wanted to make it sure they run on Windows 10.

Does any of you know if there is a non-disk version of Scratches that runs of Windows 10? I liked the atmosphere of the game very much when playing it years ago but I was never able to finish it on Windows XP because of crash to desktop every time I entered one room near the end of the game.

Timo

I seem to spend more than half the time I allow for playing games, re-playing those I very much like.
Simply because I like them so much !!

So when I'll ever get to the bottom of my stack of "not yet played's" (which will no doubt hold even more goodies to treasure) who the heck knows ????

But what a great way to "carry on regardless"

TJL - The Awakened gave me motion sickness also and to top it off the whole game was distorted because of some Nvidia something or other (can't remember quite what it was) that I should have downloaded or updated or something. At first I thought the game was supposed to look that way but eventually figured out that it shouldn't. I played it anyway and wondered why everybody liked it so much. I have the remastered version now but still haven't felt like a replay of it. I never made it through Nemesis which was also giving me motion sickness, but also because the computer I was playing in broke down and I never had it fixed. Have not felt like attempting it again. The Sherlock Holmes game I SHOULD play but haven't is Jack the Ripper. It is a story line I really like but for some reason still never played the game. I hope you enjoy other future replays just as much. For me, some are better and some not as good. I don't find that remembered "atmosphere" really holds up on the replays.

venus - I liked the Runaway games but 7 years after playing the 2nd game it still TICKS me off that it ended on a cliffhanger. Had I known that (which maybe I would have if I had read any reviews) I would not have chosen to play it at the time I did. And then the 3rd game didn't even close the cliffhanger up as far as I can remember. That kind of ruined the series for me but someday I will probably replay it all.

TJL, wow, sorry about your motion sickness! I've only played The Awakened in 3rd person, as the remastered version was already out by the time I got it. I have no idea if I'd have the same experience, but it sounds terrible. Hope your replay is much better! I agree, Testament was great; I think it was the best of the series. Enjoy the Black Mirror trilogy! It's a great series as well.

Mad, I know what you mean. At least you'll never run out of games to play.

Oldbroad, I can understand that. I really enjoyed the 2nd Runaway, as it was the longest, and I didn't mind that it ended on a cliffhanger that much at the time, as I was pretty sure they would continue. The 3rd game was good, but it was my least favorite of the series, as it was much shorter, and Sushi wasn't featured at all. Part of me really wanted Brian to end up with her, as I thought they were a better match. I did end up finally liking Gina as a character in the 3rd game, though, so it had that going for it. At least Runaway concluded its story. The Book of Unwritten Tales may never get a 3rd part, and it really needs one. I don't regret playing the game, as it's really good, but it's a shame that it ended the way it did. I definitely recommend Sherlock Holmes versus Jack the Ripper. Personally, it's my second favorite of the series after Testament.

I got motion sickness with the 1st person version of The Awakened. After the 3rd person version was released, I replayed it and the 3rd person view fixed the motion sickness problem. There are however a few points in the game where you may want to briefly switch to 1st person to orient yourself or examine something.

Thanks oldbroad, venus and Jenny100! It's comforting to know the remastered version of The Awakened with optional third person view makes playing easier for us suffering from motion sickness.

Having to switch between modes in some rare occasions is not any problem, I found that easiest way in The Testament at times already.

Back to The Testament - I especially enjoyed those somewhat challenging puzzles like finding James' desk in classroom with given hints and 'similar' jungle shooting range puzzle in fun fair. On the opposite all the lock picking puzzles were easiest of all times. One puzzle about which I had no clue at all was disabling the bombs around London using coloured buttons that lit and unlit according pressing them. It was sheer luck I solved it, I admit!

Timo

Sheer luck works for me I rely on it frequently myself!

Thank heavens it was only a game - in real life I would not wish to rely on sheer luck when disarming bombs!

Timo

I just purchased "Awakened Remastered" from GOG. because of your recommendations. I have the original version, but the graphics on this newer one are awesome. I'm working between the GB WT and Louis's, so I'm covered. LOL
Thanks so much for your input. Boomers.
Sandy

"Awakened" is still my favourite of the Sherlock series

Although I haven't tried "The Devil's Daughter" after I read about all the timed stuff it contained
